Has anyone run this? It's the restored 1955 movie with Robert Mitchum (with "LOVE" and "HATE" tatooed on his fingers.) It really looks great.. if you get a chance, try to see it. Apparently, they were able to copy the fine-grain protection master just before vinger-syndrome set in, and someone still had the orginal 35mm mag soundtrack.

There was a relrelease by the British Film Institute over here in 97 or 98, and the prints were very soft and flat - almost as if they were blown up from a 16mm dupe neg.
